What Are Cookies?

Cookies are tiny data files that your browser stores when you visit a website. These files help the site remember who you are, how you interacted with it before, and what preferences you might have set — such as display settings, language, or layout options.

Cookies are also used to measure traffic, detect technical issues, and improve site performance. Some cookies remain active only while your browser is open, while others may persist across multiple visits to maintain continuity in your experience.

Can Cookies Be Controlled?

Yes. Most browsers allow you to manage how cookies are stored, and you can disable or delete them at any time through your browser’s settings menu. While you are free to do so, please be aware that turning off certain cookies may limit access to some features or impact the way the site operates.

If you use multiple devices or browsers, you may need to configure cookie preferences separately on each one.

Cookies placed by third-party tools integrated into the site may also follow their own policies. We do not manage external services that apply their own cookie usage once you leave our domain.
